Wrong program on my Tx so seriously rolled my Fokker into the ground, all the struts we broken and the cowl and hatch were a mess....well out of the fire came the Pheonix....The only thing that bothered me slightly about this great flying/looking aeroplane was the thin cowl and the engine detail (or lack of) so here she is now after a Major refit to the front end including a rebuild cowl (much thicker plastic and wood)....and an cartoon attempt at an engine......I also stiffened up the ply plates inside the fuselage where the struts attach......not a serious job on the engine but a little better than before..

Thanks P_F, it's just to give an idea of an engine........it looked a bit *bare* as supplied.....but up to the crash I couldn't be bothered to change anything .....Great aeroplane though, flies well and looks great.

Guys,
can anyone recommend a less expensive servo for the DVII that is reliable?

i am almost ready to start installing in the wings. Not sure what to buy?

Hey, man. i'm surprised no one has chimed in by now, but it is an old thread - I guess folks have moved on to other airplanes.

Anyways, make sure the servo you select has enough torque (at least 17 oz IAW the manual) - there are good inexpensive ones in the 22 oz range made by Blue Bird and GWS $10-12. Check BP Hobbies - they have 4-servo deals on the Blue Birds. You can use a lower torque servo for each aileron, something like an Hitec HS-55 would do, but make sure you use the higher torque servos for the elevator and rudder.
